What 5 blades
 

I have a 99 38 Powerquest with 525sc and 12" boxes 1.5 lowers. I lost a prop last weekend so I am deffinatly ready now. I am wondering which set I should try first. Any thoughts?

Also does anyone have a 4 blade 30 pitch bravo rt turn they may want to sell?

Thanks Rich.

I would recommend a Hydromotive P5-X for your application in a 5B configuration.

Most every manufacturer or distributor is going to suggest their version.

Food for thought....we developed and tested the Maximus propeller on a 38 Powerquest here in Wisconsin.

I will let you know in a couple of weeks going on vaca and trying some 4 blades then I want to try 5 blades

Thanks Rich.

The 2001 38' PQ test boat Blades is talking about is mine. I am currentlly using a set of the Maximus 32'' lab finished by Merc. Have stock 575sci's and XR drives. Best run to date was 84 at 4950 /5000 RPM.

I'm running a set of Maximus 15 1/4x 28p labbed by Merc on a 99 382 Formula with 500+ EFI. Best run 77 @ 5000 :drink:

Ok ran a set of 34 pitch recupped to 32 and labbed this past week and they sucked on my boat I could not get it on plane at all and way to much slip I ran 72 MPH at 5450 rpm What pitch do you feel I need, if I go 5 blades. Thanks.

It depends on the manufacturer. What rpm and speed were you running with the stock 30's before it got lost?

You may need something in the 29 range from Hydromotive or a 30 Maximus.

I ran 78.6 gps at 5250 rpm with the 30 4 blades I also ran a set 0f 3 blade 28 labbed and ran 73 at 5250 but had a better hole shot and mid range then with the 30's. Let me know your phone# and I will call you. Thanks

Re: What 5 blades
 

You will need to go to the 28 Maximus inorder to turn them with your set up. Even when Labbed.

You will never turn 30 Max to the point you need to.

Call me back on Wednesday I left you a message around 3:00pm central time today.

Re: What 5 blades
 

Keep in mind I am running the 32 maximus labbed and get 84 at 4950/5000 with 575'sci's on a 38 PQ. With your HP the 30'S should work?

Re: What 5 blades
 

I have a set of 29 p5x being sent to me to try with the added hp I think that is a good starting point. Thanks perfmary.

Re: What 5 blades
 

Look forward to hearing how they work out. Make sure you post the results . My 32'S are a bit steep and I would like to drop to something in the 29/30 range. Your results should help to figure it out.
Will you have them at the shoot out ?

It depends on how they work I hope to have them or something new by then.
